Loving
Father,
in your desire to communicate eternal life,
you sent Jesus your
Son to bring all people into your kingdom.
As
the Church in Africa prepares to answer the call to be witness
to the
Gospel through the Special Assembly of the Synod of Bishops,
we humbly
implore you, to strengthen your people for their mission to evangelise all
the nations of the continent.
Where
there is ignorance, give knowledge;
where there is fear, courage;
where there is indifference, love;
where there is oppression, justice;
where there is conflict, peace.May
the Holy Spirit guide us in forming and living our pastoral plan to make
disciples of all the peoples of Africa teaching them to know and
observe
all that you have commanded. Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
